Graphical Loveliness In Race Driver GRID

The latest installment in what was the TOCA series of games is to be called Race Driver GRID, and judging by the new in-game footage it is going to be an absolutely gorgeous driving sim.

Codemasters have released some new video footage from Race Driver GRID which starts off with the claim that it is 'Actual Gameplay Footage'. The video then continues with some stunning visuals of beautifully detailed cars racing on some equally beautiful tracks, packed full of detail.

The action is fast and furious, with some bone-crunching collisions. If this really is in-game footage then put me down for a copy, it looks great!

Despite dropping the TOCA name and going for the meaningless GRID suffix, the game follows the same formula as the previous episodes with loads of different vehicles and championships to race in, driving on both tarmac and gravel. My only reservation is that we still have to endure a cheesy story to push the action forward. Cue hammy acting and cliched characters.
